Asked for some help on pricing, and figured around $2025. Got smoked!

That at all happened in the last seconds...I looked away and when I looked back it went from $1790 to $2550.💰

Yep, somebody made the opening bid with 10-ish minutes left, and the final 10 seconds was mayhem.

One of the hottest eBay watch auctions in the past few months, wasn't it? And the watch doesn't even work.
To all who are about to ask - no, I didn't win, but I made the winner bleed. Congratulations to him, though, for having the courage of his convictions. Chapeau!

See, you guyz iz gonna make me regret not getting into Zenith and UG years ago when these chronographs and complicated pieces were much cheaper. Imagine all the pie pans you could buy with just one measly 40+ mm TriCompax sale! 😲

Testify, brother! One word: chronographs.

The best bit is that the broad price spike in the last several months legitimizes the worst of my compulsive watch buying over the past years. And I bet I'm not alone in this. I feel like a trend-spotting geenyus. Now truly there is no turning back from the road to perdition. Money will fly out of my hands with furious velocity.
